Just got an SMS: ref (c152) has won a prize in coca cola empower to claim your prize, terms and conditions contact 0110251218 Email:cocacolsouthafrica@consultant.com
I asked her name and she said that she is Paula Ndlovu. Poor thing was sick with flu, shem.

Please be aware, 021 839 2041 and 021 8391867 Mr David, I won R 320 000 same procedure, the airtime, extra for transfer and extra for tax deductions, Company name they're using PK International and its a winning from Nelson Mandela Charity funds. Changed the address from 169 to 196 Stellenrust Road, I phoned to confirm address as I couldn't find them on the map or information centre, I have promised them via email and sms that I will find them even if its a life time operation, I will find them and if they know what's good for them, don't sleep don't walk around without checking your back, I am hungry for revenge

i also received this sms "your cell number has won R250k in Coca Cola empowerment draw..." i knew it was a scan but had to phone them for some fun... They even speak afrikaans.. well done to those clever tsotsies.

I seem to have won R950 000 in this same sms. After a quick google search on the e-mail of pstnly4@gala.net. 419 scam allerts popped up left right and centre. Where can I forward this sms to, to get these criminals cought?

yes tammy I was really stupid but really in need for that money. Ieven paid the money in a mrs l. cox bank account at absa bank. The police is busy working on these details of the account holders name. I honestly hope these people can be caught bnd locked up for fraud!

Leon, how can you WIN something in a competition that you never entered? Why would you have to PAY money to get your money?? If it was genuine win, they would take the taxes/fee's out the winnings and pay you the balance!! The greed of some people is outstanding! What I don't understand is HOW these people have not been caught?? Their Cell numbers have to be RICA'd to work as well as the latest one that gives a landline number..... Why have the cops not done anything??? Whats the point of reporting an OBVIOUS scam, and no one does anything but complain!!! And before you think I am complaining, No1: I Wouldn't EVER fall for an obvious scam like this No2: I am tracking that landline number down as well!!!
WAKE UP people, do some RESEARCH before you believe some Random SMS!!! If its too good to be true, it probably is!!!

Exactly the same happend to me. The fool i was to pay R1950 in a Mrs l cox bank account for insurance fee. Today we received a message to pay 2 percent of the winning money due to Vat, another R5000. You fuckers,.

This people is really milking people. First airtime of R110 then transfer fees, before getting your so called money. I've checked the internet and came across many victims. Be warned people!. They real crooks. Agent receiving acct: MR.TP Greenwood 1301810019 Capitec bank.fax.0867707705

I called the number this afternoon. When I call the number I am told that I need to buy airtime and call again to give them the voucher number and pin to register my money into my name. This Lizaan thinking I am stupid and she got me, said their finance department will call me to get my bank details and ref number she will provide. She really thought I am a fool falling for that. People please be careful of these scams.
She goes on to say I must protect my ref no. ("keep it in a safe place to avoid other people claiming your money....")
You Lizaan Roberts and your team of scams!, I wish you rot in jail!!!! You think we are idiots. Go back where you come from.

Also received a sms on the 22nd of May 2013. I wish we can get hold of these bastards that try to scam people out of hard earned money. Aliens from all over come into SA and getting rich here thru their scams and drug. Something has to be done.

I told her I'm sure this is a scam I never entered any draw. She said Coco-cola ramdomly chooses sel numbers from vodocom, MTN ets. She said I must pay a portion to a charity, wanted to know if I want a cheque or paid into bank, when I told her to hold on, she must have thought I was taping her as she hung up.

I phoned and spoke to Kelly. She said I could have my winnings by cheque or EFT. I opted for the cheque option. She said I had to buy a R110 Vodacom Airtime voucher and phone her back with the ref numbers. She said that was to cover the courier cost of having the cheque delivered to my physical address.

I called the number and the lady asked if its my first time I call and I said yes. She said its a UK based company giving back to the community LOKL since when do you get money you havent worked for unless you played the lotto. The condition is that I must buy R110 Vodacom airtime phone her with the reference number but not use the airtime. Well I'm calling her back with an old reference number I have and take her for a fool. Why cant these people be brought to justice cos some poor person will fall for it.

I also received the same message and thought I should make myself dumb and respond to it just to see what the sender would say. So predictable he/she just had to start by asking my bank details "so that they could deposit my winnings"
There must really be something that could be done to stop these people

Hi Guy's. Just want to add the following numbers that are scams,i received a sms from the following and phone calls stating i won R120 000 with nokia promo2012.i know its nigerian scams and have also used my IT talents to try trace numbers.these are internet voip registered numbers like with skype and ROMTELECOM. dont fall for it or reply with any personal info.
sms from 27817270616 skype reg sim
0762011288 and reg land lineVOIP 0218393128.skype reg sim
I wish i had the tools to catch these guy's.but i dont.there are laws from above voip companys that protect their clients details.surly if can be proven they should give authorities reg details and ip address for anti fraud to trace these criminals.Be careful, any multinational like NOKIA or COCA COLA would not phone from such numbers if they had call centers, and also would not use email addresses like yahoo, so be awake and be one step ahead.best of luck.Dylan.

I have received an SMS from "coca cola" that my cell number has won GBP 950,000.00 in SMS raffle. They ask me to provide my name, mobile number & email to redeem the prize amount.
Kindly guide me wat to do with this ?

What I don't understand is how the numbers can be active, and that they are not being blocked by the police... or service provider.
My latest one came from a landline!!
The newest number was 021 823 9617
